If you’re blogging on the Wordpress platform, I’ll bet my entire life savings that the first thing you ever did was try to install a new Wordpress theme. I’ll bet my future earnings that even today you’re still occasionally changing themes and wasting a lot of time doing minor modifications that when summed up merely distracts you from blogging itself.

It’s actually easy to see why this single aspect of running a blog demands so much attention. With the correct theme, you can accommodate all the nifty little widgets and codes, and may also mean better search engine rankings and tons of fresh traffic every day.

I want to blog, where do I start and why should I use WordPress?

Okay, so you want to start your own blog. So where exactly do you start? Basically there are two options open to you:

1. You sign up with a free blogging service like WordPress.com.It’s free and it only takes a few minutes to sign up. Once that’s done you can blog away. The only problem with this is that you can’t have your own domain name – you can but it will cost you $15 a year – so your domain name will look something like this: http://mygreatsite.WordPress.com (unless you pay,then you can have any domain name you like). So if you’re happy with that then get over to WordPress.com and get blogging.

2. You have a domain name and a hosted account, which supports MySQL, and PHP and you want total control over your blog. In this case then,there is no question but to use WordPress, it is simply the best.

I highly recommend option 2. With this option YOU own your blog and have complete control. When you use a hosted service they own your blog and you are at their mercy.

What is WordPress?
